• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place 1/2 of the broccoli florets in a food processor; pulse about 20 times until it looks like grains of rice. Repeat with remaining broccoli florets.

• Transfer broccoli rice to the center of a clean absorbent dish towel. Squeeze and twist the towel to remove as much of the moisture as possible.

• Drizzle olive oil over broccoli tots. Sprinkle remaining 1 teaspoon salt on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven, turning halfway with tongs, until golden brown, about 24 minutes.
